They are questions, not argument.

Your misrepresentation is a manipulation technique.

You obviously think the answers to the question will reveal that the author's ideology is extreme; otherwise what are the answers to the questions?

well, OLO is a broad church, but I wonder of Dr James really, really thinks this or whether or not it's a pastiche of all of the nutty responses we've had on class, politics, population, religion, etc.

If that's the case then it's a nice piece of irony. If not, she needs to come back to the city and see someone who can help her through a very delusional period.

I do like her photo though.

I'm with Leigh. The article may make sense to the author but the rest of us are puzzled. Decline in capitalism? Sorry, but its clearly the other way around. Protectionism has long been in decline in Australia basically because it did not work. Tariffs have their uses but only in certain circumstances. In Australia, the sole result of the old system of tariffs was to give money to the employers (and some to their workers in what were known as sweatheart deals) to keep uncompetitive industries alive...

Foxy alright. This is a refreshing article. Dr Chris James you have a new fan.

"I do not dispute the fact that the multinationals are greedy and dominant and do what they can to cut corners on human rights and expected standards. I do not dispute that many aspects of globalisation need to be changed, but let’s change them for the better not to suit middle class interests."

I don't agree that capitalism is decline. I believe it is becoming so narrowly elite it is out stripping itself as a fair means of exchange and many will find themselves out of sorts no matter their class.

When oil, water, food on the farm, land and information is all controlled by multi-nationals we all have a problem. Those who support 'international feudalism' directly and indirectly - by not saying or doing anything to change the terms, having their focus on their own consumer wealth rather than the wellbeing of whole local community, need only have themselves to blame.

Climate Change as it is only supports those who have the resoures to be climate financial savvy. People with poor incomes [here and overseas] have little place to turn. Housing, Land, Employment and access to Food and Transport is becoming a new Space Age issue.

Amid all the concrete in the developed world it is a ugly sight, only to get worse given we have no will to divert the phenomenology, given we deny our own ecology, here as overseas.

If there is something I'd like to add. No ask... it is that you now write a spritely article to tap the situation in Social Services. Given I have tested many issues across many departments, my frustration notes colonialism as still rife and current, only now we are doing it to ourselves, too.

As with a society, it is individuals that make up government and if they don't see change, then their whole of government truly lacks soul.
